First, verify that gpg will download a key to ensure that its configuration
file is correct.

By default, mutt seems to prever pgp to gpg, thus:

  ls -l /usr/bin/pgp
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            3 Mar 26 18:13 /usr/bin/pgp -> gpg

This can be had via:

  su
  cd /usr/bin
  ln -s gpg pgp

If necessary:

  ln -s ../../usr/local/bin/pgp /usr/bin/.
